Connections Connecting to an audio system You can enjoy multichannel surround-sound such as 5.1 channel by connecting to an amplifier compatible with Dolby Digital and DTS sound. • For connection to your TV, see pages 20 to 21, 25. • For details of output sound, see page 67 in "OPERATIONS GUIDE". CAUTION • When you are connecting (via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set "Audio out select" to "PCM" from the on-screen displays ( page 38). Otherwise, a very loud sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers. • When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVD video discs and audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the analog audio out (L/R) jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround® playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround® decoder system must be connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder.

Be sure to adjust the audio amplifier's volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers and your hearing may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound. • Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the recorder's power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged. 26
